2024/2025 Trapping thread

[brockel]

Been a slow spell with the freezing and thawing conditions along with rain. Looks like our warm weather ends today. It sure is nice to be outside in the nice weather but I’m tired of raccoons getting in my cat sets. Picked up a beautiful cat in a snare this morning and had a raccoon plugging a good cat set

Night 15







This test hole site in the photo below is productive on rainy nights. I think they are habituated to checking it for bronze frogs. First photo is the double catch and then next 2 photos are same animals.

Good way to start out the New Year, with a nice mink to skin!
4 bobcat sets and 16 Marten sets out. 2 mink sets also

Night 18.





We may be getting low on targets but I heard howling last night so perhaps my day will come.


I thermal hunted a new property one of the dead nights here for my line and that property had critters moving all over for a wide span of time.

That mink is a great catch! I've been having raccoons in my bobcat traps too, one above 8k even!

It always shocks me where coons live. I’ve come to the conclusion that there aren’t very many places they don’t live.

Caught a long tail weasel last week and a short tail today. First short tail for me. Almost can’t believe how small they are.
